a Direful Avalanche in Every Known
Zone, and Thousands OF People Crushed
by Its Pitiiess Power.
Far up the dizzy Alpine heights, above
the line Of perpetual frost, where the trill-
liant glitter Of the snow under the midday
sun seems only to intensity the cold, the
Ice King would seem to hold undisputed
sway. But even here there is at times
little humidity in the atmosphere Of the
more sheltered hooks.
The dry snow softens little, the wind
catches it up and losses it about, and the
star-like fakes are rolled into tiny ball
that the footsteps Of child might easily
crush. Then comes the rude blast from
the mountain top and drives the ball up
and down the high valley and across the
vast trackless fields Of snow and ice It
gathers size and strength at every turn;
huge rocky boulders and mountains Of ice
are imbedded in the now slowly moving
avalanche, which sooner or later descends
with frightful velocity to the valley below.
The luckless village In its pathway is
doomedi The air Is thick with the falling
snowI An awful rush! A roar reverber-
ates through the mountains, and the little
Swiss hamlet is swept awayl
The foregoing is 50 applicable that we
use it as an illustration. As the wind
catches up the snow particles on the
mountain tops 50 the heart catches up the
blood as It passes from the kidneys and
other organs, and sends it coursing through
the system. As it rushes along it drops
the uric acid that the unhealthy kidneys
have left in the blood in the form Of insol-
uble crystals, causing enlargement Of the
joints and intense Inflammation in the sys-
tenn which is often called acute rheuma-
tism. Eventually the joints enlarged by
these crystals become stiff and painful II
these crystals are dropped in the liver they
are called gallstones, If In the kidneys
gravel, II In the bladder calculus or stone.
II this uric acid or kidney poison remains
In solution In the blood 1t circulates
throughout the system, causing irritation,
which produces, according to the location
Of the irritation, pneumonia, consumption,
hacking cough, heart disease, infiamma-
tions and fevers skin disorders, paralysis,
apoplexy, and makes the system suscep-
tible to colds, chills, and all the other COM
principal cause.
The little child upon the mountain top
can crush in its tiny hand the first forma-
ton of the rushing avalanche.
So, too, the calamitous results noted can
be as readily prevented if the right means
are used at the right time.
"But howl" our readers may ask.
Listen and we will tell you. 1t Is q fact
Of medical science that the kidneys are the
chief blood purifiers of the system; the
chief blood poisoner is uric acid which the
kidneys alone can expcl II the thousand
little hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneyA
through which the entire blood supply
passes the same as through the heart, are
diseased they can not separate and expel
this poisonous waste matter from the blood.
Now, as another matter Of scientific
fact, disease Of these little sewer tubes is
more common than Of any other delicate
part Of the body, and IL Is because
Warmers safe cure, gentle and natural in
its action, has such wonderful power in
preventing and curing disease Of these
ailimportant tubes, that it Is recognized
as q great scientific specifc-a power
possessed by no other such remedy ON
earth. When the kidneys, the only blood
purifying organs, become inactive and
diseased, any disorder to which the sys-
tenn is most liable may be expected.
Then it Is that trouble begins, and the
doctors fail miserably because they can
only treat the efscts-the cause Is beyond
their powerl Hence it is that the proprie-
w ~
many apparently different diseases--it and
it alone reaches and cures the cause, and
then, Of course, the effects disappeari
We incline to the belief that their theory
Is correct and so recognized by scientists
who have given the subject much study.
This frightful disorder is depopulating
our homes faster than we are aware Of.
Like the avalanche Of the mountain, it ie
causing the death Of all with whom II
comes in contact 1t does not sweep away
an entire village or hamlet at once, but one
by one the people succumb to its pitiless
rover. The final, or terminating, cause
may be given another name and be sc
treated by various ''experts, but the cause
of all these effects, how many soever they
may be, is the same, and for that cause
there is but one rational form of treatment
